The tire/wheel package does not cover your rims if you curb check them. Otherwise, we would have all gotten it. I only covers if your rims miraculously bend or break which rarely happens, especially to Enkei. However, it will cover your tires but you have to have more than 1/36in tread left (so you cant have a blowout because your tires are worn out). I had a nail in my tire about a month after I bought my car, which was a first ever, and it only cost me $50 at the tire shop with a full warranty.

LOL! They tried to sell me this package telling me the rims are $900.00 dollar a piece rims, etc.

If you know how to drive and park your car well this is not worth it!

Yes they have rim repair shops that can fix dented liped rims like new. Seen it done in Miami alot. Cost is aorund a few hundred I think.

Also lets note too that you are not leting someone else drive your car or Valet park <- NEVER DO!!!!!!!

I purchased the tire/rim warranty for $450. Rim rash is not covered!!!! However, I hit a large pothole on the freeway and bent/cracked my rim and broke seal on my tire. The dealer replaced my rim & tire for free under the warranty, so I guess the $450 I paid has worked out for me this time, but will not purchase from the dealer again.

I have the 19" OEM rims, as they chip very easy from road debris. Will purchase aftermarket rims this year.

On a further note, my dealer ~Westside Infiniti in Houston, TX~ has excellent customer service and always helps me out with my car.

um actually the rims are really expensive so if you live in an area with a lot of contruction, it can come in handy. same for protecting your tires. when spending $46k, i wasnt worried about an extra $500.

not to mention whenever i pick up aftermarket wheels, they will be covered w00t.
